Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our students are a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status, and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander.
We have a variety of different learning challenges and needs that our students deal with on a daily basis.
Twenty-five percent of our students are currently English Language Learners. Our Special Education students make up 10% of the entire site. We are working hard to ensure that all of our students get their needs met.
My Project
Finding passion in reading is essential to developing a love of reading. Many of my student's favorite movies are the Harry Potter series. However, some of them didn't even know Harry Potter was a book series. I want to get the students fired up about reading. I plan on reading to read aloud next year the Harry Potter books to my classroom. The illustrated Harry Potters, my students will be introduced to a series that helped shape my formative years- all while being able to include their younger family members and create the next generation of readers! A book is more than words on paper, it is a doorway to a new world, an adventure waiting to happen!
I want my students to be able to enter a world of magic and imagination.
After this year at home bring creativity, adventure, and magic to my students will hopefully help them heal from the last year. I want to create an atmosphere of magic for my students to enter each day. I am planning on having read-aloud time after PE each day. I am planning on using Flameless Candles to create a magical mood for my students. I want to provide each of my students a Wand Pencils that they can use to answer questions about the reading. I want to give my student a little magic and adventure please help me create this for my students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
